Pesach Overview

Pesach

On Monday afternoon, April 10th, (14 of Aviv) is Pesach.

"These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Jehovah’s passover." Leviticus 23:4-5

On the tenth day of Aviv (first month) the lamb was separated: "Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household:" Exodus 12.3

On the fourteenth day in the afternoon, the LAMB was slain and his BLOOD was placed on the thresholds of our doors.

The last plague came upon Egypt, the DEATH, and seeing the BLOOD on our doors, passed over and didn’t touch our families - the night we were redeemed from the slavery of Egypt.

In the same way that it happened to us as a people, many years ago, that must happen in our lives as individuals.

Since sin entered the world, in the Garden of Eden, we have become slaves of sin and our destiny would be eternal death (spiritual).

But God brought us REDEMPTION through the MESSIAH who came as a LAMB!

On the tenth day He was separated when he entered in Jerusalem on a donkey and was acclaimed by the community as the Son of David.

On the fourteenth day, He was slain, crucified and killed.

If we agree with this covenant, his blood is placed on the door-post of our hearts and we are free from eternal death! HalleluYah!

This may seem too easy for some, mainly Jews who have learned to abide by many rules in order to be approved, but if we look at the Scriptures, since Avraham and also in the time of Moshe and the prophets, it was the FAITH that mattered.

Avraham believed in God’s words, obeyed and all of us have been blessed.

Moshe believed what he heard through the burning bush, obeyed and all of us have been blessed.

Yoshua and Calev believed what they heard, not what they saw, obeyed and all of us have been blessed.

Likewise, the Pesach lamb, YESHUA, chose to obey and die to give us life, because only the sacrifice and the blood of a righteous man could get rid of death and eternal condemnation.

Unfortunately today, Judaism is more based on rabbinical traditions than on the Bible. It’s a Judaism that chose other paths to redemption: good works, religious practices, mysticism, etc; but none of these paths satisfies the principles determined by God, only the BLOOD:

"For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life." Leviticus 17.11

Let us pray that during this Pesach, each Jew will realize he lives in a kind of slavery, will feel the need for redemption, receive the revelation of the Messiah and return to the arms of the Father.

It all begins with repentance!!!

"And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them." Exodus 3.9

"And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born." Zechariah 12.10

Watch the movie below - it is great for those who've watched it, to watch it again, and for those who have never watched it, being able understand a fully Messianic vision of Passover.

The crucifixion 27.33 Mt-44; MC 15.22-32; LC 23.33-43 They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title therefore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city; and it was written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews therefore said to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but, that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. The soldiers cast lots The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots. Sl 22.18   These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold, thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother! And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home. 

The death of Jesus Mt 27.45-56; MC 15.33-41; LC-49 23.44 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. Sl 69.21  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.  A soldier opens the side of Jesus with a spear The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day ), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with him: but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.  Ex 12.46; 9.12 nm; SL 34.20  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. Zc 12.10; AP 1.7  The burial of Yeshua  Mt 27.57-61; MC 15.42-47; LC 23.50-56 And after these things Joseph of Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away his body. And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never man yet laid. There then because of the Jews’ Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

John 19:17-42

The resurrection of Jesus Mt 28.1-10; MC 16.1-8; LC 24.1-12 "Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb. She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb; and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in. Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. So the disciples went away again unto their own home."

John 20:1-10
